I've seen it on sale once so far on Steam, so if you're on the fence about the game then that might swing it for you in the future.

In the UK it's normally priced at £6.99 and I believe in the USA it's $9.99. You can also purchase the game through their official website.

Papers, Please is available via Steam and gog.com. But even then I love the graphics style of this game, it adds even more to the dystopian atmosphere. This is one game where it's definitely more about the gameplay than the graphics. Each day you need to raise enough money through ever changing rules as well as having certain choices pretty much thrust upon yourself. The game starts off as much as a mundane job as ever, but as each day goes on it becomes a lot more about stamping passports. The story is pretty engaging, depending on the actions you choose depends on how the story unfolds. Kinda, but there's definitely a lot more too it than checking people's passports every day. Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.'Įdit: Many thanks to Moog for posting this interview with Lucas Pope, the creator of this game:

Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists. Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. 'The communist state of Arstotzka has ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin. IGN It's peculiarly engrossing, darkly ominous, and a fascinating exploration of morality versus progress. Papers Please is a fantastic idea, beautifully executed. As for finding out what happened, you'll have seven different endings to discover. Browser Game Pick: The Republia Times (Lucas Pope).
